GREENSBORO, N.C.-RF Micro Devices Inc. said it plans to expand its Chinese assembly operations to increase internal assembly capacity by about 50 percent. The company said by increasing its internal assembly capacity it will strengthen its supply chain and reduce manufacturing costs.
The expansion is scheduled to be completed during the second quarter of next year.
RFMD opened its China assembly operations this year. Previously it outsourced all of its semiconductor assembly services to third-party vendors.
RFMD sells radio frequency chips to mobile phone makers like Motorola Inc. and Nokia Corp. as well as other electronics vendors.
